Already have it.

It started after rebooting phone.

Weird :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rooster19:
So BLN does not work with stock messaging app right
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoogWeed:
Thank for the info my friend.

I didn't mean that the tweak was pointless. For it to be included in VRT, surely there WAS something useful about it, but I just wasn't sure what people wanted it for. But I guess stopping the phone waking in your pocket it pretty useful.

Maybe some smart dev can make it so the phone reads the proximity sensor and only then it disables the buttons from waking the phone? :D

I think that would keep the phone awake and prevent deep sleep, thus resulting in battery drain. Would be counter productive if done this way I believe.

hows battery life on this baby?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Have you tried clicking the search button?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoogWeed:
Ok, so 4 hours back on VR2.42 and my battery life is pretty poor again (it was fine on 2.3 + CF Kernel).

I know people might say give it a few days, but this is just my initial finding.

Exactly 4 hours since full charge (from 1%) and deletion of battery stats at full charge; I am on 88% battery.

Data is on, but I have no FB or twitter accounts , no push email, no browsing, nothing, the phone was virtually idle aside from mucking around with a few settings and a 7min phone call. That's 24mins screen on time and 7m phone call.

I have also UC the CPU to 200-800mhz via 'AnTuTu CPU master' and using conservative scaling. Screen is on auto brightness.

I did a full wipe and install and also used this spreadsheet (taken from someone's signature) to remove a ton of bloatware via titainium backup https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AnO2-4y6yE1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html

On VR 2.3 + CF Kernel I would have been on about 95-97% for sure. I did previously try VR2.42 for over a week before reverting back to VR2.3

Anyone have any ideas?

VillainROM 2.4.2 LITE update, APM is now fixed!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoogWeed:
Already on it.. :)

That was one of the first things I installed (thanks to your sig).

Right now I'm on 77% battery after 7h34m, which sounds OK I guess... but I've hardly used it! Its been idle most the time (display usage is on 54m and voice calls is 21m30s, wifi off, no other data usage although data is switched on, no FB account set up, no Twitter set up, no google backup, no latitude, no push email).

Checking BetterBatteryStats, I set the filters to 'partial wake locks' and 'since unplugged' and the top three results I get are:

Managewakelock: partial

UID

7m45s Count:49 1.7%

GSM

Dialer

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JAG131990:
I'm having wakelock issues too just realised though its from BLN. I don't know how to configure Bln pro to go back into deep sleep after it triggers the led blinking

Edit: found some notes

*note about bln from creams

"1. Upon receiving notification when deep sleep state of the terminal, wake_lock once

2. Thereafter, regardless of whether the lights blink or continuous LED, hold the wake_lock.

3. End event lighting from BLN Control App (access to sysfs) and release the regulator in wake_unlock.

4. migrate to deep sleep.

5. These repetitions."

-in other words, if you use the pro app to eventually turn off led's and thus disabling the wakelock then the phone will deep sleep again and battery life will be normal

Can anyone help make sense of this?

Is this from using tasker or something
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Make sure you are running version 2.0.5 of ninphetamine, as it has some bln related fixes, mostly holding less wakelocks.

It means that bln will hold a wakelock keeping the device awake while it has an active notification, even if the light isn't flashing, so using the pro App tell it to stop notifying you are a period of time.

Maybe just try the newer kernel and see if that fixes it first
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JAG131990:
I am on newest kernal already, I'm just going to disable bln.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
It's a bit of a hack around samsungs one real ommission from the sgs2, it's a shame they didn't bother with a led, only thing I miss from having a blackberry.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JAG131990:
Yeah well I won't miss it anyway my phone is always on me and if it's silent it will vibrate. Only time I don't know when I get a text is when im asleep and that's the only way I noticed the drain cause im trying an extended battery and didn't plug it in overnight for a change. Normally my phone is on me so bln is pointless
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ebliss:
Basically, it means that the BLN will be holding the wake_lock till the whole event is completed then back to deep sleep.

You can configure it by going to the BLN app, under Advanced settings, choose BLN blinking, Blinking duration (total). Set the total time you want BLN to be activated. In the same page, there is a "LED status after blinking" option, make sure to uncheck it.

You can also set to turn off BLN totally at night.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm strange. I use Bln but only with a few minutes time, before going off... If I don't see it then, I am away from phone, and I wake it when I get back anyway
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DoubleYou79:
I hope I am not too stupid to use the search. Searched the thread couldn't find anything. Since I am on VR I have the problem that I can't install certain apps from the market. For example foursquare. I can look at it in the market but there is no install button. Other apps work perfectly but some apps just won't let me.

Any solution? Tried clearing data and cache already.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoogWeed:
Here's the screen shots as requested. Intially the battery life doesn't look like its TOO bad, but bear in mind of those 15 hours, 8 hours I was fast asleep and the rest of the time the phone was pretty much doing nothing. Display was on for 1h20m and voice calls 21m30s.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
It's got an install button here... Which market version are you on?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] onbacardi:
this is the best rom when combined with just normal cf kernel. No need for more speed or

bln. I'm always on my phone so I can never miss a thing lol and battery is great too on kg3 v2.3

My bro on the hand on kg6 with ninp n v2.4.2 has random force closes n random things he is not happy.

Villain tweaks

How do you uninstall certain tweaks that you have installed?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
you have a backup folder in the VRTweaks folder.

just replace the needed file to "uninstall".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] onbacardi:
sorry wrong type
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Htc HD2 Spirit:
By replace do you mean copy and paste the desired file from backup folder into download folder?

Thanks

EDIT: Basically i installed the circlesmod green 1 of 2...I just want to revert back to what the system tray was originally.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
just remove the .bak and then you'll have to copy/move it to /system/app or /system/framework (depends on the specific file you want to restore)

to find out where to, just search the file in the folders.

EDIT: if i'm correct, the file is the framework-res.apk.bak.

just rename it to framework-res.apk and copy it to /system/framework and replace the file in there.

not taking any responsibility of any kind if something happens (nothing should be wrong, but just in case.. ;))
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Too much to ask for the app to do this for me?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] velgador0:
It looks like you've adjusted the DPI.

I recall having the same problem you seem to be having when I changed the DPI - no install button.

Changed the DPI to 240, the install button came back. Then changed it back to 182, everything was fine.

Maybe the Market app is screening what's visible based on DPI then? Anyone know a way around that?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DoubleYou79:
WOW. That's something I never thought about but it is in fact causing the problem. Changing the DPI back to 240 brings back the install button. Funny though that the button isn't gone for all apps but just a few. Never mind: THANKS!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Now that is interesting.

I've never been a fan of touching the dpi due to these sorts of niggles though... So I guess this is just another reason to leave dpi be
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I have it on 210 DPI all the time and have done since VR 1.1, never noticed any issues with market or anything else.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DoubleYou79:

I removed it due to the fact that it broke other settings.

Apps are available to do recording. Are they any good, or is native better?

Hey Pulsar,

Are you going to maybe release a version with a working deodexed browser?

(now that backsmali was fixed)

I got dolphin and opera etc, but there is no use, i am in love with the stock browser. :)

Maybe even release just a few files we can replace over the current 2.4.2 to fix the browser?

If this has been discussed, I apologize, I have read a few pages back and seen no trace of it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
its not few page back, its way almost hundred page back. search the thread using thread tools. find villainrom 2.4.2 odexer, someone posted the fix with the files pulser provided.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ohkuni:
Hi all, thinking about going to VR 2.4.2 and just have a question about VRTheme.

Currently I'm on LR and I use Ninjamorph to change .png files in systemui.apk and framework-res.apk. So basically with the VRTheme template, I just create the same folder structure in the vrtheme folder, add my png's and then flash the zip on the phone through cwm? No need to sign it or anything?

Cheers for the help.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eitama:
Thanks, I'll go search - I think if pulsar puts a reference to the correct post in the OP, it will save a lot of questions :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eitama:
Hey again,

I tried finding the post you mentioned, both via Thread search and some googling, but can't find it.

Also how is the Odexer related to this? I don't want to Odex the browser or framework, I need them deodexed for further modification.

I want the properly deodexed version like cognition 1.4 has and more Roms, but I want it on Villain Rom cause it's really the best :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, no need to sign zip.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'll take a look, im guessing someone deodexed the browser using the new method
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eitama:
Thanks buddy. It's important for me mainly because after installing a properly deodexed browser I'll apply RTL fixes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Gave it a spin, but reverted back as I didn't like it. Couldn't see the operator name and didn't like the battery and signal icons. But thought the way the menu spun onto the screen was damn sexy. Sorry.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] harrisony:
Cognition I believe has a properly deoxed browser. I believe it as a result of baksmali being updated http://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=75

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] harjybarjy:
Hi guys,

wasn't sure whether to post this in the Q&A section or here but it is aimed at all you Villain Rom user's.

When i first upgraded to my SGSII I installed an earlier version of Villain Rom with the VRTweaks app to install Mod's. Since then I have had to take my phone in for repairs due the microphone muffled sound fault. I have had Angelom and Darky Rom installed but I'm looking at flashing the new Villain Rom.

Question is, can I install Mod's myself on this Rom or due I have to rely on the Tweaks to install Mod's? I prefer doing them myself rather than having an easy option! Don't ask why I just like playing with the software!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
It is possible. But perform a backup before you try anything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
You can still flash Mods the normal way through CWM recovery, or even modify the files you want yourself.

VRTweaks mearly provides a simple way to change the look and feel of VillainROM more easily.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ante0:
Yes you can install mods manually.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MKVFTW:
For me, i have tried many apps from the market place and they are spotty at best. If they record both sides clear, they force close often or lag the system. Native was the best IMO. The record button was easily accessable to activate when needed. Other apps had to run 24/7 and recorded every call or you would have to back out of the dialer to initiate the recording.

If i may ask, what settings did it break? An ideal phone.apk for me would be one modded for call record and large contact photos and the libs associated with the mods.

I'm on 2.05 but I'm not sure about this 'power fix.'

Between 3am and 8am this morning my phone stayed on 33% battery, it didn't even use 1%. Battery monitor widget reported 2mA usage. :D

At 11am when I finally got up; I had 1 What's App message, 1 text message and 1 missed call and battery was on 10%. From using < 1% over 5 hours it had suddenly used 23% in 3 hours! :eek:

When I checked battery monitor widget the battery had started draining at around 8:30am, the same time I received the text message.

I can only put this down to BLN... :confused:

EDIT:

I've just realised that with VR2.42 and Ninphetamine 2.05 my screen does not time-out automatically. I've tried setting it to 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 1 minute, but the screen just stays on unless I manually turn it off via the power button.

I guess whem my text message came through at 8:30am, the screen just stayed on from then until 11am taking 23% battery with it.

Is anyone else having issues with the screen timing out?
